Samsung Galaxy View is a giant tablet

Samsung has released a very questionable device, the Galaxy View. The 18.4″ tablet is neither a powerful computer nor a portable tablet.

What is the Galaxy View supposed to be, you might be asking yourself. You are not alone. Probably the only good way to describe it is a portable TV. The device measures at 451.8 x 275.8mm and 2.65kg and it packs a kickstand and a carrying handle.

The tech specs are not that impressive but with the 18.4″ display, the viewing distance should be enough to keep the 1080p display crisp. The 1.6GHz octa-core chip is helped by 2GB of RAM and the battery capacity is 5700mAh. The 32 and 64GB storage options are expandable via microSD card. There will be WiFi only and LTE versions available but the pricing and availability are unknown.
